Funny but useful reply. tks

can you please tell me where can i find it... i will try to implement it inC# thanks

If you have one major problem, which one is it? Question #1 or question #2? Ah heck, I take a stab at both of them. Notice in my response that I'm using the American colloquial version of the square bracket, also know as the "parenthesis": 1) Dialup network? Are you insane? Why don't you connect your laptop and desktop with a CAT5 cable, and dial out to the remote client machine? 2) There is no support. You're on your own. Cowboy-up and deal with it.

Pls check if remote connection is enabled in ur pc and also find that if firewall is on or any kind of antivirus is blocking ur pc.:-O Regards Bino

CAST( @var AS datetime ) works well for dates in the current DATEFORMAT or using ISO 8601 format (yyyyMMdd). The DATEFORMAT defaults to the appropriate format for the current LANGUAGE (really a locale). The default value for LANGUAGE comes from the user's login, which in turn gets it (at creation time) from the server's default language option. Otherwise look at CONVERT. As a best practice you should pass dates and indeed all other user-supplied data using parameterized queries, for which see the documentation for the provider you're using. That passes the data using a well-understood datatype, rather than parsing the information multiple times. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Any guidance that I could give on your problem in the space of a forum post wouldn't be enough to protect you from yourself. You might want to read up on security before you go much further with this project. The first thing to read is about SQL Injection attacks and you are vulnerable to that right now. See SQL Injection Attacks and tips on how to prevent them[^] I'm sorry this doesn't answer your question, but there are other things you really need to learn first, in my opinion.

There is a website called Learn Visual Studio .NET right. But I don't think the entire content is free. Check it out anyway here: http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/[^] http://msdn.microsoft.com/[^] is your good friend and tutor anyway. :) Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage Tech Gossips

Take a look at the Casini web Server[^]. It is lightweight and works about as good as IIS. Anything I've put on the web server, has been migrated to a true IIS box with no real hiccups. It is a nice server to use in a development environment. "Any sort of work in VB6 is bound to provide several WTF moments." - Christian Graus

hey hi there, i am replying to your post because i am currently looking for something which helps me to add two wave files...........??? so could you solve your problem about this??? please help me if you know a way of doing it........! Amit Patel

The easy way is to buy Sony's SoundForge software and an Edirol UA-25 USB Audio Interface. Works for me. JimT

Howdy I don't think you want to add a new sql server database. You probably want to add an existing database server to the project. View the Server Explorer (View > Server Explorer), right click database connections > add connection. Don't forget that the connection string for SQLServer Express is slightly different to SQLServer. The host should be localhost\sqlexpress If you just want a connection string to a server then just add one to the web.config You can also drag a SQLDataSource onto a webpage to get a wizard that will help you go through the process (I think) Cheers Q

can you please geive me exact link for downloading vb.net and asp.net for free

I Will try this thanks a lot......
